Dear Parents and Carers,

We welcomed Matt for our Collective Worship on Monday where he spoke about generosity. He shared the  story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, but also of Hattie May Wiatt who told her pastor that she wanted better  conditions for the church. She saved her pocket money (initially only 57 cents) and over time, it built a whole church for  her community. Even with only a little, she proved how much an individual can do.

With the half-term break upon us, have a safe and secure time with your families. We wish you all a peaceful  break and look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 2 June.

Best wishes,

Mr George

Trips, visits and events

Choir Rose Theatre Trip

On Tuesday the KS2 choir were thrilled to be part of the Richmond Singing Festival

at the Rose Theatre in Kingston, along with other schools in the borough. They sang

their hearts out on the stage to songs such as Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis,

Don’t Stop by Fleetwood Mac and Lego House by Ed Sheeran. We are so proud of

their hard work and commitment and they were wonderful ambassadors for our

school.

Reception trip to Orleans House Gallery

Mrs Walder’s Kingfisher class enjoyed a fabulous day at Orleans House

Gallery. The children participated in an artist-led workshop, experimenting with

different mediums and techniques, and had fun using viewfinders to find fresh

perspectives in the octagon gallery. The children then merged images they had seen

with their own marks to create a sketchbook as a memento of their experience.

Following a busy morning, everyone enjoyed a picnic and games in the sunshine

before catching the bus back to school. The children demonstrated our school values

throughout the visit and we are very proud of them. A big thank you to our parent

helpers, the enriching experience would not have been possible without your support.

Notices and Requests

Get Ready to Read to the Beat!

We are excited to announce the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge: Read to the Beat! This year’s theme  celebrates the intersection of music and literature. Open to all students from Reception to Year 6, the challenge  encourages children to read six library books (or complete six challenges) to earn stickers, a medal, and a certificate.  Sign-ups begin on Saturday, 4 July, at your local Richmond upon Thames library, and the challenge runs until 5  September. Join in the fun and keep reading over the summer! We will have a librarian visit on Tuesday, 9 June, to  introduce this.

Volunteering

It is such a joy being able to take your children on school trips and enhance their educational opportunities. In  order to do this though, we often need parent support and volunteers. In these cases, it is best practice for all our  volunteers to be DBS checked. If you are likely to volunteer then please do go to Mrs Prendergast in the office who will  be able to discuss the next steps in getting this sorted for you. DBS checks do not have an official expiry date and are  considered valid for three years so it will last for a while whilst your children attend this school.

Share and Care Collective

All around the country, there are people who sometimes need a little bit of extra help

buying food and toiletries for their family. Share & Care Collective is a small local charity that helps  local families with weekly supplies of food and toiletries during term time. They collect donations  from across the community and work in partnership with local primary schools to distribute our

support bags. We have agreed to host a collection box for this charity. If you would like to donate, please take your  items to Mrs Prendergast and Mrs Bell in the office. Thank you to those who are already donating.

Teachers Cycle to Paris!

This year, three of our teachers will be joining the team cycling 300km to Paris in the summer! We hope you  can support Miss Bannenberg’s, Mr Hambling’s and Mr Thomson’s efforts in any way you can, directly funding  resources for Holy Trinity School and Skylarks Charity, who support children in our community and across Richmond  with additional needs and disabilities, and their families, with much-needed free services.
